"Cryin' My Heart Out for You" is a song recorded by American singerDiana Ross. It was written both byAllee Willis and its producerMichael Masser. The song was released on March 21, 1981 byMotown as the third single single in support of the 1981 compilationTo Love Again when it became known that Ross had signed a contract withRCA, and just a month before the release of "Endless Love". The song was not a great success, reaching only number 58 in the UK chart. It's flip side "To Love Again", made it to #103 onCash Box.[1]
A reviewer forBillboard magazine wrote: "Ross follows 'It's My Turn' and 'One More Chance' with yet another sleek Michael Masser composition. Ross' velvety vocal glides over the lush arrangement in what should be a big pop, adult contemporary and black radio hit."[2]
